Answer 7

Getting the value of PI is a complicated process and none of the formulas will generate a bunch of figures after just a few calculations.

Answer 8

pi is an IRRATIONAL number and it cannot be written as a fraction
22/7 is an approximation
pi is the relation between diameter and circumference

Answer 9

aha .ty guys :)

Answer 10

PI = 4/1 -(4/3) +(4/5) -(4/7) +(4/9) -(4/11) +(4/13)
Calculate this to the 4/9 term and you get 3.3396...
This does NOT give results very quickly.

Answer 11

thank you vry much it now makes sense to me i appreciate your help

Answer 12

If you carry out the calculations of that formula to the 4/37 term you get 3.1941879092
That is first time you will get 3.1 for a PI value.
